Icon Analysis

City Seasons Winter Barbie

Barbie was created in 1959, and has since been a representative of the dreams of little girls around the word. Barbie has had many careers, homes, cars, and twice as many outfits.
I chose  Barbie because she allowed little girls to live out their fantasy's, and was the center of my day when I was a child, and for many years in adulthood as I switched from playing with Barbies to collecting them.
pictured are two of the of my favorite barbies that I own.

Evening Sophisticate Barbie

Easy Bake Oven of my youth in the 80's

Another item that I find to be iconic is The easy Bake Oven, for many this was their first foray into cooking.  I chose The Easy Bake Oven because it was one of my favorite items, and every little girl seemed to have one.
Finally, The Muppet's especially Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy are household names recognizable to everyone. I chose the Muppet's because many grew up seeming them on Sesame Street another another iconic show. My favorite Muppet's  are Slater and Waldorf, the two cranky old men in the balcony who hate everything but their own jokes.
